Speed Cameras Aren’t the Only Issue; Jaywalking,
Poor Traffic Design Are Also Problems

The legislature failed to extend the speed camera program, and eventually, 120 of
the city’s 140 speed cameras
near schools went offline, although the remaining 20 are
still in use, being rotated from
school to school.
First of all, if pedestrians
will obey the law and stop jaywalking, there will be fewer
accidents. Mayor Bill de Blasio and Gov. Andrew Cuomo
should look at the deplorable
conditions of our roadway that
looks like we are in a Third
World country. Traffic islands
are causing motorists difficulty
in navigating our roadways.
In New York City, we can’t
pattern our roadways because
the design looks good and by
looking at what other cities do.
We have to do our own traffic
pattern study that will be fair to
all, and not just to pedestrians.
We have to take into account

people running to catch a connecting bus or hearing their
train approaching and running
against traffic signals or kids
not knowing traffic safety rules
because their parents make
jaywalking a habitual practice.
If the City Council and
state Legislature want to set up
speed bumps near schools —
and they are already in place
on some streets — they should
try to fix the potholes in places
other than school zones, fix
some of the street islands that
are overlapping street corners,
put posts with lights at the end
of every island at intersections, paint lines in the streets
and maintain them, put flashing amber lights near schools
to slow traffic down, prune the
trees that are blocking the
view of drivers, pay more
crossing guards to work in
school zones and stop commercial trucks and vans from

The mayor and governor are finding ways
to collect money from New York drivers.
Specifically, they were using the issue of children’s safety to force legislators to sign on a
bill involving speed cameras near schools that
would bring money to the city’s finances.

double-parking at corners.
There is a complete atmosphere of lawlessness when it
comes to huge vans and trucks
parking at corners. They completely block the view of other
drivers at these corners. And
most of all, commercial vehicles should not be parking in
the streets overnight.
Everyone blames drivers
for things that are beyond their
control. The city Department
of Transportation must do a
better job in traffic design.
Don’t do things a certain way
only because they are done that

way somewhere else.
Mayor de Blasio and safe
streets advocates were quick to
condemn the state Legislature’s inaction on the speed
camera issue, saying that the
end of traffic camera program
put lives at risk. They blamed
the Republican-led state Senate for the bill’s failure, and are
urging the legislators to reconvene again to reconsider the
issue. Let them take a second
look at jaywalking as well.

Still stung by a 911 complaint lodged against him
when he was campaigning for
re-election, state Sen. Jesse
Hamilton announced that he
plans to introduce legislation
to increase the criminal penalties against people who file
false police reports or call 911
for frivolous reasons.
Under Hamilton’s bill, calling 911 under false pretenses
would be classified as a hate
crime in New York State.
Hamilton, a Democrat who
represents a portion of Brooklyn including Sunset Park,
Crown Heights, Prospect-Lefferts Gardens and Park Slope,
said his aim is to combat the
misuse of 911.
“Living while black is not a
crime. But making a false report, especially motivated by
hate, should be. Our laws
should recognize that false reports with hateful intent can
have deadly consequences,”
said Hamilton, who is black.
Hamilton announced his
legislation at a press conference that took place on Aug. 15
outside the Prospect Park station of the Q subway line in

Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, the
same spot where a woman
summoned police to the scene
when Hamilton was handing
out campaign literature to voters a week earlier.
Hamilton said he found the
incident disturbing.
He said he was speaking
with voters outside the
Prospect Park subway station
on Aug. 9 when a woman who
identified herself as a supporter of President Donald
Trump accused Hamilton of
giving too much support to
undocumented immigrants.
The woman, who told Hamilton she objected to the senator
speaking against the president, then called 911.
Police from the 71st
Precinct arrived at the scene
and patiently explained to the
woman that Hamilton had
done nothing illegal. No arrests
were made.
The incident follows a troubling pattern of episodes
across the country in which
people have called 911 to summon police to investigate
African-Americans who are
simply going about their normal daily business and not
bothering anyone, Hamilton
said.
“People of color should be
able to wait for a friend at a
coffee shop in peace. That’s
not an emergency at a
Philadelphia Starbucks for
911. People of color should be
able to knock on doors and
hand out campaign lit in peace.
That’s not an emergency for
911 in Oregon or here in
Brooklyn. Oregon lawmaker
Janelle Bynum's knocking on
doors in July and my handing
out literature at this subway
stop last week were not emergencies,” Hamilton said.
“These 911 calls are more
than frivolous. These 911 calls

amount to more than just a
waste of police time and resources. These 911 calls are
acts of intimidation,” Hamilton
added.
To bolster his point, Hamilton listed a litany of recent incidents across the U.S
involving innocent AfricanAmericans who were the targets of 911 calls, including an
incident in April in which two
black men at a Philadelphia
Starbucks being reported to the

police and arrested, and another incident in July in which
a Smith College employee
called police on a student who
was eating her lunch.
In July, Oregon, state Rep.
Janelle Bynum was knocking
on doors when a neighbor
called 911 on her, Hamilton
said.
Hamilton, who was first
elected to the state Senate in
2014, is running for re-election. A member of the Inde-

pendent Democratic Conference in the Senate — which
caucused separately from the
other Democrats until April
when it was dissolved, and
which many Democrats blame
for the GOP’s control of the
legislative body at certain
points — he faces a primary
challenge from Zellnor Myrie,
a lawyer and civic activist in
Prospect-Lefferts Gardens.
The Democratic primary is
on Tuesday, Sept. 13.

hen Ilana Kotliar received
a prestigious honor at
Cornell University, she
decided to share the accolade with
the high school chemistry teacher who
had inspired her.
Kotliar, who hails from Sheepshead
Bay, was named a Merrill Presidential
Scholar at Cornell University. She recently graduated from the university’s
College of Arts and Sciences in the top
one percent of the Class of 2018. She was
one of 32 graduating seniors to earn the
title of Merrill Presidential Scholar.
Cornell administrators invited the
Merrill scholars to include a favorite
teacher from their years in high
school to share their big moment.
Kotliar asked Susan Katzoff, her
chemistry teacher at Leon M. Goldstein High School for the Sciences,
to attend the awards luncheon. The
high school is located on the campus
of Kingsborough Community College
in Manhattan Beach.
Each year as part of the Merrill
Presidential Scholarship program,
high school teachers recommended
by the student-scholars are invited to
visit Cornell University for an all expenses paid, two-day trip to take part
in a series of events that culminate in
the awards luncheon.
This year, 28 high school teachers
came from all over the U.S. and countries like Canada, Singapore, India and
the Netherlands.
Kotliar said she chose Katzoff to
share her big moment because she had
a major impact on her life and outlook.
The most important thing Katzoff
taught her was always to put her best
effort into chemistry, never to give
up, she said. “She would always break
down chemistry into ‘Chem Is Try.’ The
idea was to throw your hat in the ring
and go for it. That idea of trying and putting in the work to learn has really stuck
with me,” Kotliar said in a statement.
Kotliar and Katzoff, along with
Thomas Ruttledge of Cornell’s Department of Chemistry and Chemical
Biology, whom Kotliar also named as
a big influence on her, were guests at
the luncheon at Willard Straight Hall
on campus.
Cornell University Provost Michael
Kotlikoff told the high school teachers

that they had performed an important
job.
“You can take pride in having
influenced some of Cornell’s top

graduating seniors and in knowing
that they continue to appreciate
all you did for them,” Kotlikoff told
teachers, according to a statement on

Cornell’s website. “On behalf of the
university, I want to thank all the secondary and university teachers here
today, for your dedication to bringing
out the very best in our students. Congratulations on being extraordinary
teachers.”
The Merrill Presidential Scholars
program was created by the late Philip
Merrill, a 1955 Cornell graduate. The
program continues to be supported by
the Merrill Family Foundation.
Merrill scholars are selected by the
deans of their respective colleges at Cornell and are chosen on the basis of their
intellectual drive, leadership abilities
and potential to contribute to society
Kotliar was one of nine students
from the College of Arts and Sciences
to receive the honor.
High school teachers have been honored as part of the Merrill program
since 1989.

elilah Kitsakos, a dedicated
martial artist and seventh
grader at William McKinley
Intermediate School, took home the
gold at her first four-day long Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) National
Karate Tournament in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on June 27.
Kitsakos, her older brother
Charles, and her father, Alex Kitsakos, were at the AAU National
competition in Florida, a long plane
ride from their home on the Fort
Hamilton Army Base. The convention center was packed with several
hundred experienced martial
artists.
“At first I was a little intimidated.
They were all doing high level stuff
and it makes you humble,” said Kitsakos about her competition. “Most
of the other girls knew each other
and had done it before so they were
comfortable. That annoyed me.”
Although seemingly shy in her
white gi pants and jacket, Kitsakos
exudes confidence in martial arts.
It’s this attitude that won her a gold
medal in the offensive and defensive
form Kata competition, making her

the Female 13-year-old Novice Kata
National Champion. She also won a
bronze medal for Kumite, the art of
sparring and kicking.
At the Hoteikan Dojo, at 71st Street
and Fort Hamilton Parkway, she is
currently a purple belt participating
in the Black Belt Club, a group of
kids at the dojo specially trained to
become black belts. The dojo, being
a few blocks from her school, is basically a second home.
“I remember we were on a cruise
with the family and she had a sparring competition at the dojo coming
up. So we practiced with the pads on
the boat,” said her father, Alex. “The

trophy she won was bigger than her.”
Sensei Rebecca Carrano, Kitsakos’s teacher, has been teaching
martial arts with her husband for
25 years including helping toddlers
learn through their “Little Dragons”
program where Kitsakos started.
Carrano said, “Definitely, she [Delilah] has the skill and discipline to be
a sensei. No ifs about that.”
Since she was four years old, Kitsakos has been practicing her craft, and
hopes to one day become a sensei and
continue the legacy of the Hoteikan
dojo. She believes emphatically in
learning how to protect yourself so
that you can in turn protect others.

Asia, Eastern Europe and other farflung places around the globe. So perhaps it’s fitting that the new president
of the district’s Community Education
Council (CEC) is an immigrant whose
love for her adopted country and curiosity about its school system propelled
her career forward.
Anna Lembersky, who was recently
elected by her fellow CEC members to
serve as their president for the 20182019 school year, is originally from
Ukraine. “I was born in Kiev,” she told
this newspaper in a phone interview.
She emigrated to the U.S. in 1993.
District 21 covers Coney Island and
Gravesend, and includes parts of Bensonhurst and Midwood.
There are many different languages spoken in the district, Lembersky
said. “We have many students who are
English language learners. We have a
little bit of everything,” she said.

THE HISTORY OF
SCOTCH WHISKY

With glass in hand you’ll
begin that journey
and explore the origins of
spirit, its eventual arrival
into Scotland and how
the process was
refined and perfected to
the malts and blends we
enjoy today. You›ll also
stare through the
looking glass of time to
the people who made
whisky so popular; the
fight against government
and taxmen; halcyon days
and the dark days; its
global reach with roots still
firmly planted in the hills
and glens of rural Scotland.
David McNicoll will
explain how the stuff is
actually made, where it is
made and how geography as
well as history has had a
part to play in whisky’s
development. How is Scotch
different to Bourbon or Irish,
and how have their stories
differed and related to our
saga? There are quirky
stories, interesting characters
and the mystery of the lost
distilleries to illuminate you.
David will unravel the secret
of the Water of Life. Oh, and

SAY IT LOUD: CINEMA
IN THE AGE OF BLACK
POWER, 1966—1981

A cinematic companion
to the Brooklyn Museum’s
exhibit Soul of a Nation:
Art in the Age of Black
Power, the series explores
revolutionary and relevant
records of a struggle that
continues to this day. As
black consciousness spread

across the globe in the
mid-1960s, it gave rise to
a radical cinema that both
reflected and worked to
further the cause of AfricanAmerican liberation. Say It
Loud opens with a shorts
program headlined by the
US premiere of a new scan
of Edouard de Laurot’s lost
classic Black Liberation(
aka Silent Revolution)
(1967—Aug 17) and screens
with short films Off the Pig!
(aka Black Panther) (Third
World Newsreel, 1968) and
Madeline Anderson’s A
Tribute to Malcolm X (1967).
The earliest film in the
series, Dutchman (Anthony
Harvey, 1966—Aug 20),
screens as part of a program
dedicated to revolutionary
playwright and poet Amiri
Baraka alongside Medea
(Ben Caldwell, 1973),
inspired by Baraka’s poem
“Part of the Doctrine,”
and The New-Ark (Amiri
Baraka, 1968), a recently
rediscovered documentary
by Baraka about grassroots
consciousness-raising
efforts connected to Spirit

HOROSCOPES
August 23 - August 29, 2018
♋ CANCER  Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, sometimes
the first step to starting something big is just
believing you can do it. Then all you have to do is
put all of the other factors in play.

♌ LEO  Jul 23/Aug 23 Stay focused on the
journey and you will certainly get to the destination
in record time, Leo. You have a passionate desire to
see things finished through the end.

♍ VIRGO  Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, this week
presents a perfect opportunity to focus on a project
you have been meaning to revisit. ItХs good to relax,
but free time this week may be better spent working.

♎ LIBRA  Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you’re inclined
to focus on others, but it may be time to carve out
some time to care for yourself. If you burn out,
everyone will pay the price.

♏ SCORPIO  Oct 24/Nov 22 It’s hard to run
away from love and romance this week, Scorpio.
Prioritize an existing relationship or devote more
time to a budding one.

♐ SAGITTARIUS  Nov 23/Dec 21 It is time to
decompress between adventures, Sagittarius. Try
sticking closer to home this week and take a breather.
There will be plenty of exploration down the road.

♑ CAPRICORN  Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn,
accept constructive criticism, which is a part of
many successful endeavors. Take away important
lessons and apply them now and in the future.

♒ AQUARIUS  Jan 21/Feb 18 Sometimes the
best way to improve your bank account isnХt by
racking up long hours, but by moving into a career
you love, Aquarius. Now is a great time to explore
your options.

♓ PISCES  Feb 19/Mar 20 You often put other
peopleХs needs before your own, Pisces. Others
appreciate this and may attempt to express their
gratitude in the coming days.

♈ ARIES  Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, something has
been on your mind for awhile, so write down your
thoughts and try to act on them. This will take the
mystery out of the situation.

♉ TAURUS  Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, asking for
assistance is not a sign of weakness. In fact, it is a
true test of strength because it means getting help
before situations turn worse. Accept help graciously.

♊ GEMINI  May 22/Jun 21 Express your
creativity every chance you get, Gemini. Sooner or
later one of your ideas will appeal to another person,
and this could just be the catalyst you need.

fter the devastation of Superstorm Sandy, NYC Health
+ Hospitals/Coney Island is
back and better than ever.
On Wednesday, Aug. 22, it marked
the opening of a new state-of-the-art
outpatient diagnostic center and
women’s health imaging suite.
“This is a great thing for the community,” Thomas Melillo, director
of marketing, communications and
public affairs, told this paper. “We’re
going to save a lot of lives and help
heal a lot of people.”
Peter Montanino, associate executive director, radiology/diagnostics,
was thrilled that the hospital was
finally dedicating the facilities.
“We’re finally opening up,” Montanino said. “We’ve been official since
January, 2018 and we’re opening it up
as a remediation for all the Sandy destruction that we had. We are back in
place with two mammography units,
two radiology units, screening rooms
for osteoporosis as well as dental and
jaw suites.”
Montanino called the new mammography unit the crown jewel of
the hospital. “It will be 3-D adaptable
thanks to our city councilmembers
who gave us the money to be able to
proceed and provide the best kind of
services for patients in the southern
part of Brooklyn,” he said.
NYC Health + Hospitals/Coney Island CEO William Brown hosted the
event. He explained how it has taken
a long time for the hospital to recover
from Hurricane Sandy and how this
new suite represents the resiliency of
the hospital and the community.
“It’s really very symbolic,” Brown

added. “We began construction here
in April, 2017 and it was finished in
December, 2017. Our DOH inspection
was in January, 2018 and we passed it
with flying colors.”
Among those attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony were City
Councilmember Chaim Deutsch,
Democratic District Leader Ari
Kagan, representing New York City
Comptroller Scott Stringer, and Doreen Garson, representing state Sen.
Marty Golden.
“Coney Island Hospital is a crucial
part of southern Brooklyn,” Deutsch

said. “Having this new imaging center is a great addition to the hospital.
We need to make sure we continue
putting the resources into the only
hospital we have here in southern
Brooklyn.”

What Do Houses Sell for in the
Carroll Gardens Historic District?
By Lore Croghan
INBrooklyn

People hold onto their wonderful rowhouses in the Carroll Gardens Historic District. Can you blame them?

You must be wondering how much the homes go for
when they do get sold. We checked public records and
found transaction prices of more than $3 million over the
past couple years.
The district includes President Street and Carroll
Street blocks between Smith and Hoyt streets plus portions of Smith Street and Hoyt Street between President
Street and First Place or First Street.
These post-Civil War brownstones' location within a
landmarked district protects them from demolition. Owners cannot alter their exteriors without the city Landmarks
Preservation Commission's permission.
These homes are very picturesque, thanks in part
to unusually deep front yards with lovely gardens. See
related story.

Who puts the “garden” in Carroll Gardens? Every
homeowner in the historic district.
Throughout this hot and humid summer, residents
of the Carroll Gardens Historic District's stunning
brownstone blocks have kept their fleurs flourishing.
Shrubs and tall trees on their properties add luxuriant
foliage to the scenery. Grassy lawns grow here and
there.
Thanks to the gardeners' dedication, the landmarked
district's streetscapes are Instagram-worthy.
Take a look at the photo we took outside 326A President St. facing in the direction of Smith Street. There
are flowers in profusion.
In a photo taken outside 299A Carroll St. facing
away from Hoyt Street, brownstones and gardens seem
to stretch to infinity.
Fab flowers can be found all over the place. For instance, the gardens at 318 President St. and at 338 President St. are full of late-summer blossoms.
Ivy tumbles over the front wall at 298A Carroll St.
See brooklyneagle.com for additional pix we
snapped of the glorious gardens.

A Shout-Out to Richard Butts

* The owner of 325 Smith St. on the corner of President
Street is converting the rowhouse into a mixed-use building.
It will have commercial space in the cellar and on the first

Those of us who love strolling through brownstone
neighborhoods and staring at flowers owe a debt of
gratitude to Richard Butts.
He's a mid-19th-century surveyor who mapped out
lots in Carroll Gardens with front yards that are 33.5
feet deep. He's mentioned in the city Landmarks
Preservation Commission's 1973 designation report
about the Carroll Gardens Historic District.
Properties on the President Street and Carroll Street
blocks between Smith and Hoyt streets, which constitute the historic district, were also mapped out using
Butts' idea about having deep front yards.
On these blocks, the front yards are 25 to 39 feet
deep — providing lots of room for folks with green
thumbs to do their thing.
There are 160-plus buildings in the historic district.
The landmarked rowhouses are mostly brownstones. Some are late Italianate in style. Others are
French Neo-Grec.

He authored “Old Brooklyn Heights: New York 's
First Suburb,” an all-important book that helped Brooklyn Heights residents get their neighborhood designated
as New York City's very first historic district.

A Shout-Out to Charles Carroll

Through these fenced-in flowers, you can catch a glimpse of
259 Carroll St., which changed hands in March.

— Continued from page 24INB —
One of the architectural history experts who presented the case for the Carroll Gardens Historic District
to the Landmarks Preservation Commission was Clay
Lancaster.

But back to Carroll Gardens.
The Carroll Gardens Historic District's designation
report says house construction in the district started at
the end of the 1860s and wrapped up in the early 1880s.
Development was spurred by the creation of Carroll
Park, which is on the opposite side of Smith Street from
the historic-district blocks.
The builder-developers who constructed the houses
in the historic district were William Bedell and other
members of his family and John Layton.
The park's name honors Maryland's signer of the
Declaration of Independence, Charles Carroll.
We mention this since Green-Wood Cemetery and
other venerable institutions commemorate the 1776 Battle of Brooklyn every August.
The park's builders chose Carroll's name as a reminder of the Maryland 400, who took a heroic stand at
the Old Stone House in Gowanus during the Battle of
Brooklyn.
They were appallingly outnumbered but fought to
the death. Their self-sacrifice enabled Colonial troops
to retreat safely.

A historical note gleaned from the 1973 designation report about the Carroll Gardens Historic District: In the
mid-1870s, the office of developer-builder William Bedell
was next door at 327 Smith St. He constructed many of
the houses in the historic district.

Bedell built the entire row of houses on the odd-numbered side of Smith Street from President to Carroll streets

The U.S. economy has gained considerable momentum in recent months,
paving the way for the Federal Reserve
to continue tightening monetary policy 2018. While rising borrowing costs
could suppress loan origination, an avalanche of maturing mortgages, revisions made to the Dodd-Frank Act, and
a growing pool of eager, smaller lenders
should keep borrowing activity buoyant
in Brooklyn.
A tight labor market and firming
inflation has the Fed confident that the
economy can withstand the impact of
higher rates. Gross domestic product
grew by 4.1% in the second quarter,
significantly above the first quarter’s
2.2% and the strongest growth since the
third quarter of 2014. After raising rates
for a second time this year in June, the
Fed has penciled two more rate hikes in
2018, with the next likely to emerge at
its September meeting. This should put
upward pressure on rates and eventually
lead to even higher borrowing costs on
consumer and business loans.
The 10-year Treasury yield, which
influences everything from mortgage
rates to corporate loans, has hovered
around 3% in recent months as political turmoil overseas joined concerns
that tariffs between the U.S. and its
major trading partners will slow global
growth. These trade tariffs should put
additional pressure on Treasuries as inflation erodes the value of the fixed payments made on the bonds.
At between 4.0%-4.5%, interest
rates on five-year multifamily loans are
roughly 50-75 basis points higher than
where they were a year ago. Despite the
uptick, however, interest rates remain
historically low, which should keep the
landscape for lending favorable.
Demand has been particularly strong
for multifamily properties in Brooklyn
in 2018 as its growing appeal as a “worklive-play” destination attracts both private and institutional investors. Brooklyn enjoyed banner activity in the first
half, recording $1.54 billion in sales, the
highest of any sub-market, according to
Ariel Property Advisors’ “Multifamily
Quarter In Review.” For our exclusive
report, click on http://arielpa.com/report/report-MFQIR-Q2-2018
While Brooklyn’s lofty dollar volume was mostly attributable to the
$904.61 million Starrett City Portfolio,
the largest sale year-to-date in New
York City, all three volume metrics increased on an annual basis and the 39
transactions comprised of 79 buildings
were the highest of any sub-market.
In 2013 – the beginning of the most
recent real estate cycle – Brooklyn saw
1,059 transactions consisting of 1,440

properties totalling $4.3 billion in gross
consideration, according to Ariel Property Advisors’ Investment Research
Division. These properties were likely
financed by acquisition loans, with the
5-year maturity the most common at the
time. It has therefore been a busy year
for Brooklyn because as loans mature,
investors typically choose to refinance
or sell their properties, and the buyers of
these assets often seek financing to fund
their purchases.
Brooklyn, the most populous borough, has dominated commercial lending activity in recent months. In the
month of May it snared 42% of all of
New York City’s transactions. Moreover, seven of the top eight neighborhoods for financing were situated in the
borough, with the zip codes encompassing South Bushwick/East New York;
East Williamsburg/North Bushwick/
North Bedford-Stuyvesant; and Prospect
Lefferts Gardens/Flatbush/East Flatbush
ranking in the top three, according to the
Commercial Observer, citing data from
lending database Actovia. In addition,
these three areas comprised 18% of all
New York City’s mortgages.

undoubtedly become more expensive
to finance real estate transactions, loosened regulations should open the lending spigot wider. With the guidance of

an experienced mortgage broker, an investor can obtain financing via smaller
institutions that are more than eager to
extend credit at competitive rates.

Changing Landscape Of Lenders

Real estate financing has picked up
this year as the investment sales market gained momentum. During 1H18,
Brooklyn’s entire market saw 526 transactions consisting of 685 properties,
totaling approximately $4.28 billion in
gross consideration, according to Ariel Property Advisors’ “Brooklyn 2018
Mid-Year Sales Report.” For our exclusive report, click on http://arielpa.com/
report/report-APA-Brooklyn-mid2018Sales-Report
In 2015, banks pulled back after federal banking regulators cautioned them
about overexposure to the multifamily
asset class and its impact on their financial stability. Lenders also erred on the
side of caution due to the Dodd-Frank
Act, which was put in place as a safeguard in the aftermath of last decade’s
recession. Lenders tended to be conservative about the amount of assets they
were servicing and holding on their balance sheet due to increased government
scrutiny.
However, following a similar bill
that passed in March, the U.S. House
of Representatives recently voted to
dismantle part of the Dodd-Frank Act.
The bill relaxes regulations for all but
the largest U.S. banks, raising the level
at which banks face the tight oversight
spelled out in Dodd-Frank to $250 billion in assets, up from the current $50
billion. Due to this increase, banks are
expected to become much more active
in the lending arena.
As more and more people call
Brooklyn home, institutional and private investors will likely continue to
seek mortgage financing in New York
City’s biggest borough. While it has

Chief Clerk in B’klyn Criminal Term Gave Up a Career in Art for 45 Years in the Courts

By Rob Abruzzese
INBrooklyn

In a courthouse, it is the judges who
make all of the decisions, but everyone
who works in the courts knows that the
people who actually run the daily tasks are
the clerks. In Brooklyn’s Supreme Court,
Criminal Term, the person running the
show is Chief Clerk Daniel Alessandrino.
Alessandrino has served the court system for 45 years now and has been the
chief clerk for the past eight, but his is an
illustrious career that might not have ever
happened if he had followed in his father’s
footsteps and become a commercial artist
instead.
“My father was a commercial artist,
and I was an illustrator who thought that
he was going to follow is his footsteps,”
Alessandrino recalled. “But that was, and
still is, a very tough industry to get into.
Once I didn’t get accepted into Cooper
Union, that sort of faded away.”
Alessandrino, who was born in
Manhattan and raised in Brooklyn, instead
went on to apply for a job as a court officer and started his extended career in
Brooklyn’s Criminal Court at 120
Schermerhorn St. as a 20-year-old starting
in 1973.
That was just his first of now nine official titles the St. Francis and St. John’s
University graduate has held while working in the courts. Of course, that’s only
nine titles and unofficially has served in
many capacities.
Some of Alessandrino’s other titles
included clerk in the Kings County Family
Court, motion clerk in the New York
County Surrogate’s Court, a clerk in
Brooklyn’s night court, supervising investigator for the application verification unit,
chief court officer of the family court citywide, assistant director for court security
services inside NYC, director of personnel
for the NYC Criminal Court and liaison
for the city to handle the writs on the

“Every time I talk about 45 years, my
immediate reaction is, ‘Oh my God, that’s
such a long time,’ but it went by like a
flash,” Alessandrino said. “I think it’s
because I like what I did. It was a lot of
variety, I did everything from security to
investigations, to fiscal work, to human
resource work. It really broadens to scope
of what you are able to do and it can be a
lot of fun. I’m still having fun. That’s why
I’m not retired yet.”
He got the job as chief clerk in 2010
after he had been working as a liaison
between the courts and the Mayor’s Office
for Criminal Justice. He explained that job
often put him in contact with then administrative judge of the criminal term, Hon.
Barry Kamins. When James Imperatrice
retired, Kamins believed that Alessandrino
was an easy choice for the position.
“When you’re hiring a chief clerk,
you’re looking for someone who is
knowledgeable about the court system and
who has as much experience as possible,”
Kamins said. “You want someone trustworthy and reliable, and Dan fills all of
those categories.
“He’s one of the most competent people I’ve met in the court system,” Kamins
continued. “I remembered him from my
days as a defense attorney when he was a
court officer as someone who has always
been well liked and respected by judges
and court staff.”
As chief clerk, Alessandrino is the top
non-judicial court employee who is in
charge of running the court on a day-today basis. If there is a blizzard, hurricane
or other emergencies, he has to determine
if the court opens or not, and how it will
operate. If there are changes in policy, he
is the person to help implement them.
When there are layoffs or transfers, he has
to be the one responsible to break the
news. All of this, in one of the busiest
criminal courthouses in the nation.
“We don’t get the high-profile people,

but we do get violent and serious crimes
that are high-profile cases,” Alessandrino
said. “It’s an interesting place to work with
a lot going on. It’s very serious work here
and I’m in a support role for the judges.”
Despite 45 years in the court system,
Alessandrino said that he doesn’t expect to
retire soon. If he does retire, he won’t go
back to art work. Despite the fact that he

Department for his work, he has given it
up. Instead, he’ll stick with his current
hobbies of fishing and archery.
“If I had plans to do something, to travel or to move somewhere, I might retire,
but my wife and I don’t want to be away
from our two grandchildren for very long
and, honestly, I’m still having fun and
learning something new every day.”

Sculpture Memorializing Holocaust Victims
Unveiled at Kingsborough Community College
Bykov Family
Commissioned the
Artwork To Continue
Teaching Lessons
Of Holocaust
By Francesca Norsen Tate
INBRooklyn

Assemblymember Steven Cymbrowitz, a Brooklyn Democrat, and Kingsborough Community College’s Interim
President Peter Cohen joined forces last
week to unveil a statue commemorating
victims of the Holocaust. The statue, titled Infinity, was donated to the college
by the Bykov family.
The Aug. 13 ceremony featured a
memorial candle lighting with Russian-American veterans. Among those
offering remarks were Cymbrowitz, Cohen, Dr. Stanley Bykov and a number
of elected officials, including Brooklyn
Borough President Eric Adams. Rabbi
Andy Bachman, also participated.
“The Bykov family commissioned

the work and made the generous donation to Kingsborough, which is making
it a permanent part of the Holocaust
resource center that the school is in the
process of building,” wrote Cymbrowitz in a social media post, an excerpt
of which his office made available to
INBrooklyn.
Speakers emphasized the importance
of Holocaust education, to make sure the
atrocities of this period are never forgotten.
Bykov, an ophthalmologist, and his
father Mitya spoke of their family’s commitment to keeping the memory of the
Holocaust alive and explained the significance behind the sculpture.
Bachman recited the Mourner’s Kaddish and described his recent trip to
Belarus and Lithuania, where he bore
witness to the crimes committed against
Jews during World War II.
Also attending were Assemblymember Helene Weinstein, City Councilmember Mark Treyger and Ari Kagan
from New York City Comptroller Scott
Stringer’s office.

Union Temple Begins New Chapter
With Innovative Approach to Worship
The 170-year-old Union Temple of Brooklyn, which
stands at a crossroads with the retirement of its beloved
rabbi — Dr. Linda Henry Goodman, who served Union
Temple for more than a quarter of a century — is entering a year of innovations. Union Temple will hold
an open house to introduce the community to its new
chapter.
Rabbi Mark Sameth, the congregation’s newly appointed interim rabbi, observed, “The Jewish world has
changed. We’re honoring our past, and also experimenting with new modalities.”
Kahal Kadosh Beth Elohim was founded in 1848 by
German and Alsatian immigrants in what was then the
Village of Williamsburg. Its congregants abided by traditional Jewish Orthodoxy.
Another synagogue, Temple Israel, was established
in 1869 by a congregation following the Reform Movement. Rabbi Isaac Mayer Wise had recently brought this
community to America.
A transformation evolved over the years, as Kahal
Kadosh Beth Elohim also adopted the reforms of Rabbi
Wise. These two temples merged in 1921.
Sameth previously led an experimental congregation
for 18 years — Pleasantville Community Synagogue in
Westchester County. The Forward named him one of
“America’s Most Inspiring Rabbis.”
Sameth was attracted to Union Temple’s diversity, and calls it a place “where Jews, their families and
friends unite for shalom.”
“Reform congregations are attracting folks who grew
up Orthodox and Conservative, Roman Catholic and
Mainline Protestant. Where do people of such diverse
backgrounds meet? For me, the place of true meeting
begins in Avodah Shebalev, ‘Service of the Heart,’” said
Sameth. “We need to gather, to experience the felt sense
of our shared humanity, share our collective wisdom,
and buoy one another as we engage with a profoundly

challenging, deeply broken world. Union Temple supports and makes a space for that.”
Sameth’s heartfelt, musical services build on a long
tradition of music at Union Temple, but take it in new,
unexpected directions. Also new this year are a monthly Meditation Shabbat, a Friday night scholar-in-residence-style lecture series, and something called “Pajama Shabbat” for the under-six crowd.
Union Temple’s Sept. 7 open house begins at 5 p.m.
with refreshments, and provides an opportunity to meet
Sameth and members of the community. Attendees can
learn about Union Temple’s many offerings. Kids are
welcome; they will participate in a supervised Shabbat-related arts and crafts project.
There will also be a lively service for children of all
ages and their families at the temple’s First Friday Family Shabbat/Pajama Shabbat and potluck. RSVP: info@
uniontemple.org or 718-638-7600 ext. 1. Walk-ins are
also welcome!
Union Temple of Brooklyn is at 17 Eastern Parkway at
Grand Army Plaza, steps from the IRT subway station on
the 2 and 3 lines. High Holiday tickets are free, but must be
reserved. Open House Friday Sept. 7 at 5 p.m.
